hey ppl...got a 2000 gsr for 2k...everything seems fine..ran the comp. pass everything and it pass smog( it has dc headers and aem intake and intake manifold) dont know of if this normal but since i work for AAA i took it to there office and it pass smog so am happy..got a tranny flush and new spark plugs..new oil and new sunroff cause it blew off on the 5 NB LMAO sorry if it hit yeah !...everything from the honda dealer...well going to one single concern i have....not everytime but every once in a while when i start the car in the morning...it will rev at 2000 rpm and go up a little and drop down and so on for 1 min then drop to normal rpm..do integras gsr do this when they first start up??? i was going to throw in a fuel injector cleaner but want to get ppl input...any help would appreciate....

 

failing fuel pump will do that. if it does it warm the o2 can have an impact but it should idle fine warm. the iac valve and coolant level are another place to go. i've seen that twice now and both cases were failing fuel pumps. if that car has over 200k miles...which it probably does based on what you paid it very well could be the problem. long story short pressure fluctuations are what's causing it. still, test, don't take this as gospel. if it goes like the rest before long the car just won't start.

 

thanx for the response...veh has 125k on it..motor has 65...my good friend had it was a stolen recovery issue..he got the motor from japan...am going to look into that fuel pump issue...thanx man for the response...seems now ppl just look at honda-tech but dont help...i was also thinkin to clean the throttle bodie with carb cleaner...and using seafoam b4 i do my next oil change..

(sorry for the grammar..hate my phone keys)

 

a lot of the more knowledgeable members have moved on and just hangout in gdd. many people see these old cars as get-me-by-mobiles or just something to drive till they get what they want. the only reason i'm still left is from building a frame up back in 2008. i also use to work in a shop and more exp than many. the obd1-obd2 honda is a fairly reliable car as long as people don't mod them without knowing the overall impact of what's being done. that and **** parts are the two most common reasons these cars die. also. unless mileage is doc'd on carfax or a reliable source cluster swapping is beyond common. fuel pumps rarely die at 125k, motors also don't get swapped often at 125k. both generally fail above 200k with the gsr engine going on average 175-225k before burning an exhaust valve. 300k is possible though, just rare. i honestly would be surprised if you picked up a 125k 2000gsr for 2k, like a true one. the theft title is also common but not generally difficult to sell if the car is in good shape. every now and again you find a title **** but most just want a decent car. young kids also hate salvage titles because they can't borrow money for them.

 

any pics... Thats what im hoping to get my hands on... Had a 96 DX coupe with b18c in it... Now I want an integra...

cold engines idle high, your car is fine. didnt anyone think of that?

 

yes cold engines idle higher than normal, but rpms dont jump like the op mentioned..
btw, nice find! makes me feel like i got ripped off for mine now.. lol.. paid 2100 for a 94 gsr

 

Looks like an awesome find. I paid $2000 for my 98 gsr and it supposedly had a hydrolocked motor. It ended up needing an ecu. Thats another story though. More pics. hint hint.
